Every veneer we fit is hand-glazed two floors up. We spent a day watching porcelain become a smile.

Amara starts at eight with a coffee and a shade guide. By six, a set of veneers will be glazed, fired and checked under three different lights.

Layers, not paint

Natural teeth are translucent at the edge and warmer near the gum. Amara builds porcelain in thin layers to copy that, which is why our veneers don’t look like piano keys.

Why in-house matters

When the ceramist is down the hall, tweaks take hours, not weeks. Patients can pop up and see their own teeth being made.
